Hillary Clinton: The United States is BACK

On her second trip to Asia as U.S. secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton is carrying a no-nonsense message about American intentions.

“The United States is back,” she declared Tuesday upon arrival in the Thai capital.

By that she means the administration of President Barack Obama thinks it’s time to show Asian nations that the United States is not distracted by its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and intends to broaden and deepen its partnerships in this region.

Clinton was trumpeting that line Wednesday in an appearance with a prominent TV personality before flying to a seaside resort at Phuket for two days of international meetings to discuss North Korea, Myanmar and a range of other regional issues.

But, the United States under President Bush was NEVER distracted – especially in foreign policy and the War on Terror.

What is Hillary talking about?

I mean – she isn’t even the President.

In any case, how can anyone think Hillary Clinton is serious after:

1. Becoming an appointed LACKEY for “The One”

and….

2. Wearing such an ugly orange pant suit
